The village of Pernand-Vergelesses is located just 3km from that of Aloxe-Corton and of all the villages that the Grand Cru hill of Corton looks over, this is the most picturesque. The parcel "En Caradeux", located mid-slope and exposed to the East, faces the hill of Corton. These vines are worked traditionally by the winemakers of Domaine Louis Latour. The soil is stony and the basement is composed of marl and flint limestone which gives the typical particularity of this terroir.

Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru "En Caradeux" 2017 - James Suckling - USA - February 2019 - 89/100This has an array of cooler aromas of herbs and cucumber, as well as fennel and a green-mango and papaya edge. The clean line of acidity delivers a fresh finish. Drink now.

The 2016 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru En Caradeux
is another successful white from Louis Latour this year, offering up aromas of
crisp yellow orchard fruit, honeysuckle and pastry cream, followed by a
medium-bodied, crisp but fleshy palate with an open-knit, succulent profile and
a saline finish. Drink 2018-2024

2016 Pernand-Vergelesses 1er Cru En Caradeux
Not
yet bottled. A toasty, reductive, start to
the nose. Too cold, but growing in both volume and complexity - this is really
rather good on the palate - lots of interest here, I like very much for its good
texture and energy. Lovely wine.

A ripe and overtly citrus-infused nose displays additional notes of pear
and apple. There is a lovely sense of energy to the lightly stony middle weight
flavors that are at once rich and generously proportioned while the finish is
almost sweet and sour in that there are hints of bitter lemon and honey.
88/2019+

The first of several 2014s just before dinner. A fine way to start with this fresh and brisk white, that includes richness on the palate. White stone fruit as well as vanilla on this youthful palate leading to a fresh finish.

A big, bright fresh and open nose. - a very heavily
perfumed wine. Lithe and fresh in the mouth with good mid-palate density.
Round, Again a very perfumed fruit. (...) The balance and intensity are good. Super length though. (cask sample) By Bill Nanson (UK)

Flint and intense complex notes, a bit of wood
evident, but plenty of ripeness. The palate has cool orchard fruits, a
lime-like intensity, and a decisive acidity in the finish. Juicy and
concentrated. (UK)

Burgundy, France, Dry
White, DIAM, 13.5% abv (2016) This vintage has no UK stockists listed, though
the 2013 tasted recently is available and scored 91 points. This retains a
touch of green to the colour and has a gorgeous nose, suffused with a little
crushed almond and oatmeal, a ripe but crisp apple fruitiness and hint of salty
minerality. The palate too has a fine marriage of lean, citrus and
salt­streaked clarity allied to gentle nuttiness and fine orchard fruit. A
delightful white Burgundy.

Pernand-Vergelesse 1er Cru "En Caradeux" 2012 - Burgundy Report - June 2014 - "Savoury"Cask sample.
The nose has some sweetness and bread notes(...). The palate seems sweet and savoury at the same time. Whilst there's no denying the concentration here, it seems to be lacking a bit of energy today - good flavour though.
